A work-site tour is one example of work-based learning opportunities for students. It allows students to see various aspects of an industry, network with employers, and connect classroom knowledge with a career. With these meaningful experiences, we hope to inspire learning and develop soft skills before entering the workforce.

What did you learn about the David Lawrence Center?

I liked the fact that the Sheriff’s office partners with the David Lawrence Center to make a difference in the community. They work together to create a welcoming place for people with mental disorders and addiction. I think it is interesting that there are different therapies for the whole body such as horse art therapy. Thank you for the opportunity to sit in and listen to what David Lawrence has to offer. -Cindy

I liked that the David Lawrence Center has many facilities, including one for children. They are also able to help people who are walk-ins. It’s nice that they really care about their community. –AlfonsoI learned that David Lawrence gives back so much to those in need of counseling and rehabilitation. The fact that they partner with different organizations to make the patients feel as helped and welcomed says a lot about the non-profit organization. Patients can participate in different therapeutic activities like art, music, and sports. I am thankful for the opportunity that was given to find out further on the impact the David Lawrence Center has on the community. -Madison
